Steoandnoodles: Music Peeves.

Steoandnoodles 08.23.12	I'll tell you what annoys me: Ukuleles. Hate 'em.
jrm96 08.23.12	whiny vocals
Steoandnoodles 08.23.12	Example? =) There are certain whiny vocalists that annoy me too but I dunno, it doesn't bother me as much. Simple plan would be an example. What's your man's name? I dunno. I don't like his voice.
jrm96 08.23.12	depends on the whininess, and i dont know the names cuz i stop listening to it
LifeAsAChipmunk 08.23.12	hardcore drums and breakdowns, the banes of pop punk
Steoandnoodles 08.23.12	Haha, good a reply as any. =P And thanks Potato.
Acanthus 08.23.12	Hmm certain keys, when used in dubstep, are an instant hurdle in regards to liking the track.
jrm96 08.23.12	o and bagpipes
LifeAsAChipmunk 08.23.12	the stupid build ups they have in awful party songs
Steoandnoodles 08.23.12	Yeah? That's a pretty specific one Acanthus. =P Agreed, though I'm not much of a dubstep man to begin with.
Trebor. 08.23.12	harmonica makes me want to murder people
jrm96 08.23.12	i almost forgot about the handclaps. they piss me off more than bagpipes
Acanthus 08.23.12	Yeah it's one of the only things I can think of, I'm pretty ok with a lot of things in music overall.
Trebor. 08.23.12	Double track vocals oh man a clap instead of a snare
Steoandnoodles 08.23.12	Ah, I like hand claps when used right. If it's gentle like an expansion on the percussion I like it.
bach 08.23.12	Blast beats and breakdowns. The two elements aren't "annoying" themselves. Just when a song is built around or relies to heavily on them.
KSK1 08.23.12	Pretty much everything about most hip hop makes me crazy. Everything from the lyrics to the electronics. Other than some ambient I don't like electronic music at all.
Sleaper 08.23.12	metalcore annoys me. To me no song in metal core is unique. Everything sounds the same, every band sounds the same. (Excluding ABR of course, they bring new elements to the table)
PuddlesPuddles 08.23.12	Female singers except for Bjork
Trebor. 08.23.12	"Everything sounds the same, every band sounds the same. (Excluding ABR of course, they bring new elements to the table)" what the fuuuuuuuuuccckkkkk
jrm96 08.23.12	i agree with ksk1, electronics can get annoying
climactic 08.23.12	"metalcore annoys me. To me no song in metal core is unique. Everything sounds the same, every band sounds the same. (Excluding ABR of course, they bring new elements to the table)" lol
Steoandnoodles 08.23.12	Can't agree with you Puddles. I love female singers... to an extent. I don't like Hayley Williams because she makes it obvious "Ooo, I'm a female singer and I play rock music!" but Janelle Monae's all like: "I'm cool, check me out?" and I'm all like "YEeeeeeeeaah!"
jrm96 08.23.12	hayley williams sucks i don't mind female singers but she just sucks
ThroneOfAgony 08.23.12	Dubstep. I admit I used to like it, but now I can only go back and realize how badly it sucks dick. Can no longer stand fucking loud obnoxious synthesizers and the 4000 pads some of them use to create "atmosphere." At least in Trance they make the beat catchy or uplifting.
Trebor. 08.23.12	Dude lady singers rule look harder
Steoandnoodles 08.23.12	Yeah, I don't think much of her either. =/
bach 08.23.12	Female singers are great, puddles.
Steoandnoodles 08.23.12	Tell you what annoys me. When there's an element in a song I'd like to be there but it isn't. Like, an instrument at a certain point and I imagine it there every time I listen to it but it's not there... wish I never thought of it. Anyone get that? I'm probably just nuts.
ILJ 08.23.12	"metalcore annoys me. To me no song in metal core is unique. Everything sounds the same, every band sounds the same. (Excluding ABR of course, they bring new elements to the table)" Dude I like metalcore and this is completely wrong. ABR are very generic, they're just outstanding songwriters and have this knack for catchiness. You clearly haven't dug too far into the genre if you think all of them sounds the same. There are unique ones out there (ETID is one example) and ABR is not one of them.
jrm96 08.23.12	i get you steo
bach 08.23.12	Minus ones like Haley Williams and Amy Lee..
Turtlestlker 08.23.12	Breakdowns, Shitty clean singing(I'm looking at you mainstream metalcore), Group shouts, for the most part the "Djent" guitar tone,Double layered vox, I have a heavy dislike of the "Pop" sounds, and I don't like happy music
HolidayKirk 08.23.12	Rhyming "BOTTLES" with "MODELS". Always a great way to tell when a song is sheet.
Trebor. 08.23.12	yeah the djent tone is probably my least favorite thing ever, it sounds like satan queefing
Steoandnoodles 08.23.12	No happy music at all Turtlestlker?
TheFonz123 08.23.12	pretentiousness in music is the biggest turnoff unless it's done in a self-conscious making-fun-of-myself sort of way. Pretentiousness in general grinds my gears. I'd rather someone be a narcissist and an asshole then be pretentious
bach 08.23.12	@ Turtles Periphery?
Steoandnoodles 08.23.12	Who in particular do you find pretentious? =)
Trebor. 08.23.12	Oh no don't start with the pretentious shit assuming makes an ass out of you and me
TheFonz123 08.23.12	"Who in particular do you find pretentious? =)" in music or in people? For some reason it pisses me off more than anything, not sure why.
TheFonz123 08.23.12	"Oh no don't start with the pretentious shit assuming makes an ass out of you and me" what makes you think it involves assuming?
Turtlestlker 08.23.12	Pretty much no happy music, also bach96 I don't like Periphery sounds way too clean and boring to me.
climactic 08.23.12	fade outs, stupid drum fills, whispered vox usually, clean singing when there should be screaming and vice versa, flat production, awkward key changes
bach 08.23.12	@ turtles I don't either. It seemed like you described them perfectly with your comment.
jrm96 08.23.12	fade outs piss me off also y cant they just end songs with solos or something
TheFonz123 08.23.12	fade outs, and rapping when one is not a rapper
Trebor. 08.23.12	"what makes you think it involves assuming?" Because calling someone's music pretentious without knowing them personally is assuming, cuz like they could actually mean everything they do artistically and you just don't like their artistic vision ya know cuz pretentious means pretending to be artsy or whatever but they could just actually be artsy and yeah hard to explain idk it's just dumb
LifeAsAChipmunk 08.23.12	I like fade outs. Whispers need a set up or an atmosphere to work.
Trebor. 08.23.12	when fade outs work they work though
LifeAsAChipmunk 08.23.12	"rapping when one is not a rapper" Who would fit that under that bill? Other than Justin Bieber, I can't say I see that much at all.
jrm96 08.23.12	fade outs make me want to keep listening to the song
LifeAsAChipmunk 08.23.12	"fade outs make me want to keep listening to the song" Well then, in that case, the band did right for themselves, huh?
TheFonz123 08.23.12	an album can be pretentious, and a person does not need to be pretentious to make pretentious music. The word does not refer to ONLY humans, any thing or anybody that pretends to have content in any way fits the descriptions. it word for word means "a false show of something". It should never involve the judgment of an artist; just their music. As for whether something is actually pretentious, well that is a useless argument as you can apply that to any message or emotion. I can sit here and tell you that "anger" by dangers is not really angry at all "BECAUSE YOU ARE JUST ASSUMING, IT MIGHT BE ABOUT HAVING SEX WITH A UNICORN". That way of thinking renders almost all adjectives useless in application so lets not go there
jrm96 08.23.12	yes they did but only if followed by a better song
Pentagon 08.23.12	clapping pisses me off
LifeAsAChipmunk 08.23.12	I like handclapping. :[
TheFonz123 08.23.12	pretention is an assumption, but so is pretty much all analysis of art. If we are not a loud to judge music then why bother writing reviews? The statement that "jane doe" is about a break up is an assumption, it might actually be about hosting a tea party. But again, that's part of the listening experience
TheFonz123 08.23.12	omg finger snaps SNAP YA FANGAS O DO DA STAIR, YOU COULD DO IT ALL BY YOSELF
LifeAsAChipmunk 08.23.12	I don't hear finger snaps that often either?
TheFonz123 08.23.12	there was a period of time when certain rap was all about the finger snaps
jrm96 08.23.12	lil jon for example
LifeAsAChipmunk 08.23.12	Wow, I had no idea. I went to this cool jazz club/bar where you snapped instead of clapping. It was real chill.
TheFonz123 08.23.12	look up the videos for lil jon
TheFonz123 08.23.12	"Oh no don't start with the pretentious shit assuming makes an ass out of you and me" completely disagree, the genre has a lot of crap, but it also has a handful of brilliance. ARE you honestly going to tell met that converge sounds like emmure in any way?
LifeAsAChipmunk 08.23.12	@Fonz and jrm, I've actually never listened to lil jon, although he is familiar.
jrm96 08.23.12	DON'T WHATEVER YOU DO DON'T
TheFonz123 08.23.12	well he's a musical genius lol no jk my IQ drops whenever I hear it.
jrm96 08.23.12	your ears will bleed and for some reason ur eyes tend to pop out
LifeAsAChipmunk 08.23.12	I went through a whole album by Tyga (and God was it horrible). I think I can make it through some snaps.
TheFonz123 08.23.12	I don't always listen to bad music, but when I do I prefer to have lil jon screaming random words at me
Sowing 08.23.12	cliche lyrics like "my heart breaks in two, I only wish for you" and shit like that also ke$ha style vocals and any country music that makes reference to a peice of farm equipment or barnyard animal
Scoot 08.23.12	the chorus of blood by in this moment worst thing i've ever heard
jungletiger 08.23.12	when a band releases some solid music and then out of the blue puts out some really really bad music. And the worst is when they start saying 'were progressing blah blah blah' and they actually think the musics great. It breaks my heart. and hipster music that annoying way they sing, you guys know what I'm talking about
jungletiger 08.23.12	oh and MIKE LOVE
jrm96 08.23.12	that's how i felt with Korn. One year they release the decent korn III and the next they release the path of totality
LifeAsAChipmunk 08.23.12	"hipster music that annoying way they sing, you guys know what I'm talking about" I definitely agree to a certain extent. Normally, I love accents.
jungletiger 08.23.12	yea man it always hurts. I was devastated when tfot put out in the unlikely event.
menawati 08.23.12	Worst thing is when really bad production spoils something good. you know like they compress it all to shit to make it seem louder on the radio and theres no dynamic range.
jrm96 08.23.12	same with gnr, one minute its use your illusion, the next it's the fucking sphagetti incident?
jungletiger 08.23.12	yea word, although can we say that was really 'gnr' haha oh and i hate when there is that one band member who is ok with putting out shitty music aka commercial music only because they are too stupid to understand quality and only really want the money and fame and don't realize that they are an idiot and that they don't let brian finish the album and then he goes crazy and then you sue everyone in the band and make really shitty albums and hire john stamos (yes john fucking stamos) to redo a denny song. And then makes buddy buddy with everyone again.
jungletiger 08.23.12	@ LifeAsAChipmunk Yes, same I do like accents. What I do not like is talentless trend whores who copy those awesome original accents. It's ok to copy if you're good though
Funeralopolis 08.23.12	-the ubiquitous high pitched vocals in modern post-hardcore -most female vocalists -hand claps -instrumental intros -interludes in general -overly defined chourses
menawati 08.23.12	lol hand claps :]
LifeAsAChipmunk 08.23.12	"-instrumental intros -interludes in general -overly defined chourses" =[
someguest 08.23.12	when the music is shit
TheFonz123 08.23.12	I actually like interludes when done right
Bandido 08.23.12	Key changes in the middle of songs. They take me out of it every time
Graveyard 08.23.12	99 one second tracks before a hidden track
SCREAMorphine 08.23.12	Auto Tune
LifeAsAChipmunk 08.23.12	But Daft Punk?
Steoandnoodles 08.23.12	Hidden tracks in general. It just annoys me
Rikardur 08.23.12	-Higher register male vocalists -That typical trying-to-be-metal power chord BS that is unoriginal as fuck -When production doesn't suit the music -When a vocalist kills otherwise good music (and vice versa) -Whiny vocalists/lyricists. Keep that shit in your diary unless you plan to write and deliver the lyrics unlike you're just reading out of your fucking diary. At least get some poetic integrity in there to make it seem like your weren't just spilling out your feelings half-asleep on tear-soaked parchment. -Inaudible bass -Metalheads -Clone bands
WeepingBanana 08.23.12	when a band uses too many effects to hide their ineffectuality (e.g. Hands Like Houses and 90% of modern post-hardcore) overdone vocals as well (e.g. Coheed and Cambria)
NoMeansYes 08.23.12	Genre tags and how butthurt people get over them
Steoandnoodles 08.23.12	When bands emphasise their image.
WeepingBanana 08.23.12	guitar solos going at the same time as vocals in an attempt to sound epic basically any band that tries to sound epic rather than just being epic
NoMeansYes 08.23.12	^ solos and vocals at the same time is the dumbest thing ever
WeepingBanana 08.23.12	any solos that last more than 30 seconds really unless it's Television or something
Steoandnoodles 08.23.12	If it's a really short guitar tracking with the vocals; I'm cool with that.
ffs 08.23.12	mmy biggest peeve is when poo and pee sprays out of my speakers and all over my room and my dad comes in and shouts at me because of it
WeepingBanana 08.23.12	yeah leads are fine but when it's a straight up solo at the same time as vocals it fucking sucks journey does it all the time and i have to hear that shit at work
WeepingBanana 08.23.12	yeah ffs that blows
Steoandnoodles 08.23.12	Nothing worse than poo on the walls. But yeah, I know what you mean. If it's a solo... make it stand on its own.
NoMeansYes 08.23.12	The very definition of the word
Steoandnoodles 08.23.12	Exactly! Don't have a vocal solo and guitar solo at the same time because then it's not a solo!
NoMeansYes 08.23.12	yeah, A duet would be more appropriate, but 'a double' makes it sound as bad as it really is.
Steoandnoodles 08.23.12	Haha, yeah! That's really it in a nutshell. =)
ChuckyTruant 08.23.12	What bothers me the most is inaudible bass
CrownOfMagnets 08.23.12	I don't get why you people don't like double tracked vocals. The Beatles anyone?
Steoandnoodles 08.23.12	I think maybe bad double tracked vocals?
CrownOfMagnets 08.23.12	example?
Steoandnoodles 08.23.12	As much as I love his albums; I could understand people not liking the double-tracked vocals on Iron & Wine's songs.
jrm96 08.23.12	Songs under twO minutes
WeepingBanana 08.23.12	fuck you^
jrm96 08.23.12	Fuk u to
LilLioness 10.07.12	I don't there are any specific parameters that I can offer. I only know that I don't like something is meant to be poetic in a way that isn't in any way ironic and comes off as hokey to me ("Lunacy" from the new Swans album is a perfect example of this). It just brings out of the experience and makes me wish I was listening to someone who doesn't sound like they are trying to hard to be tortured or dark or whatever. Yeah, I don't really have hard limits as others seem to. Just don't bore me or waste my time and I will find you at least decent.
Rikardur 10.07.12	Sounding tortured/dark isn't the intention of Swans on The Seer ;) Also, wow old thread...not sure if I contributed to this or not.
Steoandnoodles 10.07.12	I don't think you have. =P Anything that annoys you in music that you'd like to share?
LilLioness 10.07.12	Idk, Rikardur, that song just makes me cringe. The others from the album don't, but I guess it is mostly because when it started I really liked the instrumentation.
Steoandnoodles 10.07.12	I liked the music of Lunacy but I know what you mean. Lulu is a perfect example of it. XD
LilLioness 10.07.12	Lulu is funny when Lou is straight up trolling with his lyrics, but woefully average on "Little Dog" and "Cheat on Me". Both artists need to either retire or try something very new. Death Magnetic shows that Metallica is no longer a great when it comes to writing thrash and and Lou's collaborations haven't been the best.
anarchistfish 10.07.12	Anytime the vocalist sings a simile. E.g. "we dance around just like constellations". They sound so forced
Steoandnoodles 10.08.12	Like, when they try really hard to hammer in a word so that they sound poetic? =P
XingKing 10.08.12	-Double bass. -Drum triggers. -Guitar solos. -Guitar shred fests that last 2 minutes. -Double tracked vox. -Metal vox. -Chorus or bridge that shifts up in key played immediately after the chorus or bridge. -Long gaps of silence after the last track for a worthless shit stain of a hidden track. -Bonus tracks that are tacked onto the end of an album instead of skillfully placed amongst the other tracks to enhance the flow. -Over usage of cuss words. -Excessive keyboard and electronics in a band that features no keyboardist. -Screaming verses and sung choruses. -Songs about love that are not of the screamo or hardcore genre. -Pretentious names or song titles. -Self titled albums that are not the first album. -Skits on hip hop albums -Hip hop albums having 17 tracks -Songs about getting fucked up or partying I could go on for an eternity.
baldymort 10.08.12	Songs that try way too hard to be happy and upbeat like 'hey soul sister' by train. Also, tuff hardcore bands that yell lyrics about having a heart and a family over 4 shit cunt power chords.
Steoandnoodles 10.08.12	Wow, that's a big list of things. =P
Spare 10.08.12	this thread is riddled with aspergers
Steoandnoodles 10.08.12	Hahahahaha! XD
LilLioness 10.09.12	XingKing would HAT what I listen to. XD
LilLioness 10.09.12	Well, hate or hat, doesn't make much difference.
klap 10.09.12	Metal or hardcore vox, really any singing that sounds like shit
XingKing 10.09.12	@LilLioness: Pretty much. It's blatantly obvious from my peeves that I really hate metal. You've got some good bands in your 4 and up ratings though. I didn't check any lower.
Satellite 10.09.12	yarling
Steoandnoodles 10.09.12	Yeah, I can't stand Yarling either. =/ I'm fine with expressive vocals but it's so blatantly put on.... ugh
anarchistfish 10.09.12	"-Songs about love that are not of the screamo or hardcore genre. " oh come on that's just silly. agree with a few of your others though
Steoandnoodles 10.09.12	Yeah I agree. In fact my digs has Sinatra in it. =P Love is a huge theme in Sinatra.
Hyperion1001 10.09.12	fucking violins, god damn i hate that instrument
omnipanzer 10.09.12	80's synth end of story. I can't even enjoy truly good music if the musician happened to fall into this musical foible.
Hyperion1001 10.09.12	cmon synthpop rules
guitarnater 10.09.12	^not that.
omnipanzer 10.09.12	"cmon synthpop rules" Nope I mean really how could they not hear how shitty it sounded. Every time I hear Jump I get excited and cringe simultaneously.
LilLioness 10.09.12	You hate the violin? Do you know why?
LilLioness 10.09.12	I try, King. XD
XingKing 10.10.12	@AnarchistFish: I don't mean that one quite literally, but for example, my girlfriend ONLY listens to pop punk shit and rock ballads about love. It absolutely disgusts me.
